OSTOMY BAG WITH FILTER CONSTRUCTION

摘要

An ostomy appliance (101) comprising a pouch and a filter construction (110) is provided. The filter construction has a first (111) and second (112) foil layer to provide an enclosure for the elements in the filter construction. The filter construction is attached inside the pouch so that the filter construction is free-hanging inside the pouch. The two foil layers may be generally parallel with the walls of the ostomy bag. The foil layers are provided with numerous holes functioning as gas-inlets (114) for the filter construction. The filter construction includes a prefilter element (115) and a deodorising filter (117). The ostomy appliance can be used in a method for collecting discharge, in a method for reducing the number of balloonings and in a method of increasing the time to ballooning.
